hey Diddy .... my apologies .. hadn't realised that you'd requested to be a friend... I'd be very very happy to be so ...
Ive just hit the Befriend button but i'm not sure what's happening ?? ... not sure if its registering !! .
Thanks for the heads-up. As it happens I've got the predecessor of the Ultrac Vorti on the rears of my 997 - the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's ( now discontinued ). Very pleased with them - good grip and wear.
As I have the 19 9,5J ET 46 lobster rims on the back of the 996 (Porsche originally released this rim size for fitment to the 987 Boxster), I might give the Vorti's R's in 275/30 size a try. They should be a good rev/mile match with the 235/35 R19 fronts also so as to not put the C4's viscous coupling at risk.
Hi there and greetings from England in Covid Lockdown
I trust you guys are under similar conditions/restrictions?
Just wanted to say what a great photo of your 996 with lobsters - saw one a while back taken in the rain. Looks like a Navy jet about to take off from an aircraft carrier! Ive recently purchased a '99 C4 cabriolet and have been going through the trials and tribulations of calculating suitable f&r tyre combo's for my 19 inch lobster rims.
You don't know how lucky you are in that regard - selection is SO much more straight-forward/less critical for a RWD car compared to AWD!
I think that is one of the few benefits of lockdown - being able to work on the cars!
